Diablo III Announcement at Blizzard WWI 2008

[Schmidteren]

when i go fullscreen the screen fucks up :S

[PrkchpsNaplsaws]

Oh, 360p, we meet again

[XxStealthySniper16]

i love tristram music

[Xerfusin]

@XxStealthySniper16 Actually this is not Tristram music!!! this is the Rogue Encampment theme from diablo 2, I'm pretty sure of it as I'm learning to play it at the moment.

[Xerfusin]

@XxStealthySniper16 Edit to my previous post: only if he modified the Tristram theme, this is the rogue encampent theme from d2. the melodious part isn't from thristram, I know how Tristram and and Rogue Encampment sound. I even saw the familiar notes he was pressing on his guitar.

[mortvia]

I had the unbelievable misfortune of watching this in my college library years ago...

[05adictuz29]

my right ear enjoyed this...

[PrkchpsNaplsaws]

you cut the video short of the greatest part! WHen Diablo first appears on screen, you seriously couldn't hear your own voice in that place!!!!

[seamoretwillnant]

Nintendo needed an entire orchestra to get the crowd at E3 excited about Zelda.

Blizzard only needed one guy with a guitar.

[StarWarsUnited123]

@seamoretwillnant you cant compare that.....e3 is an event for every gamer......this was a event only for blizz fanboys...and btw...look at the twilight princess announcement....BEST REACTION EVAAAR!

[louisdilello]

oh my god this gives me the chills

[zekaron]

@louisdilello Always!

[xoenhit]

this moment was so epic

[DarklingSinx]

3 years later,still no Diablo III

[blizzardthe1]

@DarklingSinx it's coming along, they don't want an unpolished game

[armoredvampire]

@blizzardthe1 yea, thats the reason that blizzards games are so good. Time and effort they dont rush to complete a game at the deadline *LOOKING AT YOU EVERY OTHER COMPANY*

[chris71388]

@armoredvampire lol

[jessewski]

@DarklingSinx supposed to be released by the end of this year :) And when they did announce it, we knew we still had a LONG wait ahead of us for it... from what I've seen so far, I'm glad. Can't wait for beta to start up here in the coming months!

[RaymondBrandon]

get nerd chills from this

[superduperjew]

@RaymondBrandon me too lol

[NorCalBear84]

@RaymondBrandon same lol

[frydayupinhere]

sucks he didnt make the music for diablo 3

[Pho39]

1 more year. Once they max profits with WoW and SC we will finally get our turn.

[gogetmeseashells]

It's a double edged sword. Blizzard isn't conventional, they don't produce games solely for money, and they have to be perfected before we can ever play them. At the same time, they always come through with awesome games. I've watied 12 years to play SC2, which sucks but I know it will be phenomenal. D3 will own shit as well, be patient every1

[TommyJohn19]

@gogetmeseashells Blizzard is no more. It is now Activision-Blizzard and guess who holds all the cards? I'll give you a hint, it's not Blizzard. SC2 was the last brainchild of the independent Blizz, now everything will be an Activision moneygrab until they run the company into the ground. Just look at what they're doing to WoW.

[gogetmeseashells]

@TommyJohn19 Heard about it the day it happened. Activsion and Blizzard are merged, but the companies act independantly. Blizzard would have never merged if Activsion "held all the cards." WoW was before the merger, and it has nothing to do with anything. Diablo 3 will be free, so who gives a fuck? Fuck WoW.

[Spazm2010]

I WANT TO MAKE SWEET LOVE TO DIABLO'S THEME SONG AND THAT GUITARIST.

[m4r3z]

eve online owns all these games !

[xTroop18546x]

Sucks that it's not the newest game anymore and its not out to this fucking day. Fuck blizzard.

[tyraela115]

Malvoo and roccoroket7 I agree completely!

AND THE HEAVENS SHALL TREMBLE!

[roccoroket7]

omg epic! *_*

[Malvoo]

Just give me diablo 3 and I'll die happy.

[boredjoey]

@Malvoo lmao!!! im wit u on that man.

[nahhty]

but then you wont be playing it, cuz ur dead

[Nubtrain]

@Malvoo Just wait... 2....3 years..... I CAN'T WAIT NO LONGER!

GIMMIE DEMONS TO SLAY AND HOPEFULLY FIGHT ANGELS

[writertrump]

this guy looks like an elf

LMAO

[JKCWvids]

this guy? you mean the president of blizzard? mike morhaime?

[definetheline11]

same as everyone else, i'm getting goosebumps from that guitar, so stoked

[CalebnGage]

Lol i teared up and got goosebumps when i watched this for the first time. There is just something about the tristram theme that just gets to me, it brings back old memories.

[writertrump]

people said it wouldnt happen, people said there was no way after many left to make guild wars, people said I was crazy when I said for years there would be a D3, they laughed! WHOS LAUGHING NOW!!!

ME!, D3 is going to ROCK!

[ingo505]

Dont know why it gives me goosepumps every time i watch it.

[monkey9090]

i got it all over my body :')

[Adriankat]

I still get all giddly when I watch the announcement.

[WantedZelluloid]

I guess it was a great day for the fans @ the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational

[WiFooo]

Yes, i'ts epic, gives me goosebumps

[noLuckyStrike09]

FINALLY!!!! :) epic announcement...

[tylerpyle]

i do have to say that was an epic touch with the guitar lol

[Zarag0d]

I really did tear up. Im so excited.

[slipknotmegafan13]

Wow at this. I think I actually would of teared up if I was in the crowd at that moment right after he strummed that opening to the tristram theme XD

[Jacksmedulaoblongada]

When he started playing the guitar it gave me goosebumps :-))

[Caonabo]

umm what is this guy playing on the guitar? anyone know?

sorry if this comes off as a n00b question.

[sadagosama]

sounds like tristrum, the most famous audio piece from Diablo 1 and 2.

[cynicaldemon]

It sure is the "Tristram theme". Though it's remade a bit here.

[xTroop18546x]

Remade at the ending a bit, but its sure sounding great. Diablo 2 version was just an added part to the ending of Diablo 1 that cuts off at the end, but this version just got me. Its such a nice song - I wish I had that guitar and the tab :D

[cynicaldemon]

Not only the ending, half of what he played was remade :P

[FATam88]

tristram pub.

[FailKitty]

noob! :P

it's the tristram theme from d1! :D

[JohnBreadForger]

It is the Diablo 1 theme. I think it only played in Tristram, the game's (only) town.

[disseapear4ever]

hav to agree that its geeky as hell but FUCK YA!!! DIABLO 3!!!!!!!!

[adrianoadr2009]

o maior rpg de todos os generos esta de volta,e parece que vai ser o melhor de todos vamos esperar , mas parece que vamos esperar muito Oo mas pelo D3 vale tudo !!

[clancy2k]

omfg i want that as my ring tone

[Shue4]

lol nice!

[U2BONO360]

f*** your ringtone. Have sex with goat and that music that's awesome !!! Try !

[Cambrand]

When I saw this.. i almost shat my pants.. the geek factor is not even half as big as the coolness-factor..

[Skullbird11]

lol

[Anarasha]

To this day, these announcement videos still brings a shiver to my body.

[BigLittlePlanet]

[supertact1]

@Anarasha same here

[alecyo12]

@Anarasha i was there for the cataclysm one it was amazing onec in a life time chance

[noc1891]

[theman4712]

DIABLO ROCKS

[Rengekii]

Loved the guitar bit.

[secretMachine]

I've heard he's not even a gamer... wtf?

[Gravnam]

you heard wrong

[szykoli4nost]

every time i hear the guitar i get the shivers...OMG :)

[rykerkmartin]

that music sounds so got damn sick

[509345]

this guy is so gay!

[Shidko]

that's a nice estimation lol

[bowflexor]

he looks like a nerd, his voice, his clothes his job LMAO

[goma3]

He IS a nerd, but nerds are also some of the most happy people in the world, because when they get to be adults, they have a job they absolutely love and are truly happy.

[CottonfieldLP]

@goma3 I know dude .. Nerds rocks!

[rykerkmartin]

and hes making more money then you ever will =P

[TatooineBoy]

u are just jealoues haha u are not like him and make so much money like him...u are a faggot

[elef003]

yet you have quite possibly the gayest youtube username of any one in the database.

[greensack69]

i wouldn't be talking because he makes more money in a week then you make in a year..lol

[Nappyss]

Can't wait :(

[sushlet]

The Chinese Would Like To Play The Diablo Tree When It come Out For The GamgCube !

[Mac41790]

I just got the worst chills in my life when they started up that guitar. I can't wait!

[mous3r4ada]

dude crap the moment that guitar started my hair went up ... awesomeeeeee

cant wait to play it

[skatefallen91]

uploaded. it kinda sucks because i suck at 12 string though.

[inknstrings]

I got chills when the guy came out with the guitar! ha

[kerrigan01]

I'm so happy!!! I can't play to have Diablo 3!!!

[dawich96]

please the name of the song, thanks the best game 2009 :-)

[kerrigan01]

Tristram by Matt Uelmen. You can download the Diablo OST at the blizzard-diablo site.

[Domon3rt]

Im going to learn how to play it on the guitar. Now.

[skatefallen91]

the first chord is an a minor without the pointer finger lol, i dunno what that's called though. i'm trying to figure it out right now

[cowking321]

i woke up at 5:00 AM to watch WWI cause i though diablo 3 was going to be announced and when this happened i screamed and woke up the house

[Domon3rt]

Oh and Thumbs up to Cowking and Toxic Ninja.

[xToxicNinjax]

This video ends at the worst possible time. Its like cutting out the money shot of any porn.

[rot0001]

Diablo 3 will probably take around 2 years to finish, and if you think thats too long, what would you rather? A crappy unpolished version of the game, or a kick ass completely finished version?

[salehhaddad]

and we are already past the first year. Developemnt started more than a year ago.

[EvilEyeee]

actually developement of diablo 3 started few years ago but was canceled becaose blizzard wasnt satisfied with it...check it out on the internet

[redbloof]

ummmm its gonna be released in February i have friends that work in blizzard

[frice2000]

Right...It's Blizzard it'll get delayed at least twice...Maybe February 2010 :P.

[LIANGE1011]

WOW FOR FUCKS SAKE FINALLY its been like wat? fucking 10 years since diablo 2 like god o ya and the release date is in 2009 they already said they are done wit lots of stuff so no need to be sadi promise it is in 2009 and if u dont believe me w.e

[slibu]

I wish I was there...

Awsomeness when he starts playing the diablo theme

[CharLucci]

orgasmic

[lailum]

this game wont be on the shelves for at least a year or two at the earliest

[iforeverskate]

i love diablo

i have a bonner

[Visionary3rdEye]

holy shit, its about time....Diablo fuckin pwns

[salrap10]

man wht a huge announcement. i've waiting for this ever since i was lik 10. i love the town song. that guitarist is sick

[Ivaron2]

"I know you're eager to get some hands-on time with the games, but there is still one more thing that we need to do.

Last years World Wide Invitational featured the global premere of Starcraft 2. And I know you've been wondering if we have any big news for you at this event.

Well.. As it turns out, we do."

*Tristam song plays*

:D Ha, that's a great way of announcing a game.

[FastlikeHurricane]

November this year or march next year probably

[Phrober]

Suppose SC2 will be released Xmas 08, and Diablo 3 something like February-March 2010

[iamkillermonkey]

nah. it probably will be released in 2009.

[Iamgod77]

probbably it's a bit excessive, but, perhaps we don't have to wait till 2010.... :P I hope so!

[Iamgod77]

You really don't know Blizzard, don't you?? The same it's been said about Starcraft, and a year have passed since last WWI. My guess, near 2010. You are all so innocents.

[Hyndiin]

No. Diablo 3 has been in development for 4 years already, the game is nearly complete. I am estimating it to be released near November or December of this year or beginning of next year.

[bubber25]

i hope your right man. its all about the diablo 3! i cant wait it looks so badass

[Iamgod77]

It's impossible to know how much time ago Blizzard started with Diablo 3, perhaps you can speculate, but nothing more. Starcraft 2 was announced in 2007. An entire year has passed and we are still waitting (perhaps a year more). You really wan't to play D3 before 2010? Good Luck! But to be realistic, that's very difficult to happen. Blizzard is Always the same. The first Time we hear about Wow was two (near three) years before it's release!

[iamkillermonkey]

i think sc2 will be released in the late fall of this year.

[roydamanna]

omg if this is right i love u!!!!

[grande18]

Are you completely retarded?!

Blizzard has always worked on all of their games for years before them being publicly announced. The game will be released by Q4 of this year if not its Q1 of next year.

My guess, it's November.

[tripplex2k4]

HAIL DIABLO!

[BosseBrakskit]

Hell beyond you... Hell awaits you...

[demoncrash]

the dev at the Q and A said the game has already been in dev for about 4 years so it shouldnt take too long

[writertrump]

DIABLO III, fucking OWNAGE! :)

[antenen]

they dunno yet but a guess is next year in the middle of 'march-june' (i've heard)

[DURKES]

So when is D3 gonna be released

[smoyzil]

probably years away lol

[kulekarl]

But but... why didn't you keep the film going?

[andyby]

Octofail didn't let me see this -.-

[ProspectorSam]

At last. >:-)
